Chainsaw!

One must understand that all the bang....comes out the muzzle.....not the stock!!

This ain't 1750 sittin out in the timber trying to cast RB. It's MY ASSUMPTION that folks trying to cast today want the best!

No I didn't say Lee moulds were NO GOOD!

You can't cast good round ball or bullets using half-assed equipment! You need a melting pot (electric) is best and lead has to be kept at least 750-810F! A good iron mould and mould has to be kept hot! I always heated my mould over and open flame before starting such that after about a minute...

My observation has been that on all these deer kill photos shown from time to time there are way more doe killed than bucks!!

Owned/started by Elon Musk I think!

would prefer it to be a bit lower at 50 since this would be the max range Because filing down the front sight will make it shoot even higher!!

Hmmmm....don't think that's what he wants!

For 20 some odd years I was into Sharps rifles and I wore myself out casting, loading, cutting patches, rolling bullets to the extent that my back just wouldn't let me sit at the bench for any length of time without hurting. Six years of playing football and having 3 horses fall and rolling over...

Thompson-Center ML turned me OFF to that style rifle 60 years ago! IMG_3576 by Sharps Man, on Flickr These are great!

Why I use a 1-72" twist and shoot swaged Hornady RB in all of my Hawken rifles with a 100+ grain charge of KIK 2F powder and tight wad! IMG_3576 by Sharps Man, on Flickr

Swab! Navy lingo! How about wipe!!

Here's a Safety Class rolled up into few words: Assume ALL FIREARMS are loaded and don't point the muzzle at anything you don't want to shoot!!

I'd just as soon pour sand and gravel down the bore of a rifle than to use pyrodex to shoot it!

Take a 'finer' sight alignment aka put the top of the front sight farther down into the rear sight! Some rear sights have a V rear sight; others may have a square bottom horseshoe notch and may be flat across the top!

If chip has no teeth is as meticulous in his endeavors to own a flintlock rifle as he is in his typing and punctuation as his posting implies, I have no doubts as to his ability to own, learn, and to operate any type of firearm safely!!

I'd say THAT was a poor example of accuracy of American Riflemen

OUTSTANDING! You did good!

Its not a problem!
